#you ever get so mad at a fugly ass site update that you go and give yourself a tiled background image for your tumblr feed

[sibyl-of-space]

I've officially gone insane.

It started out with me being pissed off at Tumblr's new dashboard layout + dark mode settings just looking like Twitter in a way that made me want to commit crimes. Then my good friend @zerojanitor brought two things to my attention:

The existence of the Dashboard Unfucker

The existence of Tampermonkey, which is used to execute the Dashboard Unfucker

I realized that Tampermonkey is a tool that lets you do anything. You can overwrite CSS for any website you visit so that, locally, it looks however you want it. The devs of the Dashboard Unfucker use this to revert the awful layout changes, but then I realized I could use it to make the dark mode layout actually have color.

Then ZJ realized they could use it to just have a purple dashboard for funzies.

Then I realized that I could recreate a MySpace page aesthetic by having a custom background image be a screenshot from the OoT Forest Temple.

I created a GitHub repository to share the scripts I used for these palettes. There's one for just if you want to change the colors of your dashboard, and there's a slightly different one for if you want a background image. The defaults are how it looks screenshotted above, but using the templates, you can make it whatever the hell you want.
